Hi.

For a start lets define some TERMS. I use UPPERCASE not to shout - but to u= nderline a part of the sentence that is needed to be underlined - this is p= lain email - I do not have Bold/Underscore/Italic options - keep that in mi= nd - now - to the core of the issue ...

I always considered FreeBSD OSS audio/sound subsystem superior to all ALSA/= PulseAudio/PipeWire and other dramas from the Linux world ... but not anymo= re.

Somewhere between 14.3-RELEASE and 14.4-RELEASE things begin to get broken = - I thought that upgrade to latest and greatest 15.1-RELEASE would solve my= issues - as there were LOTS of sound/audio related things.

A regression test ("git bisect") would be very he= lpful in isolating this regression. I would do one, but my sound is perfect= , it needs to be done by someone with sound problems.

Also only 15 commits to sys/dev/sound exist between the me= rge base of 14.3 and 14.4:

$ git merg= e-base release/14.3.0 release/14.4.0
ad1f2e80c8324716e80aa9d2955f42e68cc= 66308
$ git log ad1f2= e80c8324716e80aa9d2955f42e68cc66308..release/14.4.0=C2=A0 sys/dev/sound | g= rep ^commit | wc -l
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 15

so the bug is probably in one of those.
